Super-Conservative Jeff Flake, Who Represents All That is Good and True in the GOP-in-Exile, to Introduce Carbon Tax Bill With Liberal Senator Chris Coons

Weird, isn't it, that so many NeverTrumpers turn out to have fairly leftwing positions on major issues, once they feel free to tell the truth, and yet are always insisting they're the Most Severely Conservative Conservatators around?

Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and Chris Coons, D-Del., are preparing as soon as Wednesday to introduce a carbon tax bill to combat climate change, just days before the end of the current session of Congress.

The bill is similar to bipartisan legislation introduced in the House last month that would tax carbon emissions and return the proceeds to American households as a dividend.

The House version was the first bipartisan carbon tax legislation introduced in nearly a decade.

Great.

Anyone want to bet how Senator "Severely Conservative" Romney votes on this?
